Yes. As mentioned by Bernhard.

All files should be in
http://oberon.wdfiles.com/local--files/start/gadgets030105a.tgz

The tool named by Bernhard shows how to build an installable system on 
floppy disks. Building and statically linking the inner core should be 
quite easy. Than it must be copied to hard disk and made bootable.

It only makes sense to do this from within PC Native Oberon. Building 
and statically linking the inner core is also possible from within OLR/X86.

I would recommend to start with understanding device drivers like 
Display before trying to compile the inner core. IMO Oberon is not about 
fiddling around stupid design decision of the PC and its boot process.
